History was made at China's 15th National Games in Guangdong this week as 16-year-old phenom Chen Yujie blazed through the women's 100-meter finals with an Asian U20 record time of 11.10 seconds! 🌟
The Zhejiang sprinter overcame a rocky start in lane seven, channeling her inner anime protagonist to surge ahead at the 50-meter mark. Her rocket-fueled finish left competitors Wei Yongli (Guangxi) and Shi Linqi (Anhui) trailing for silver and bronze respectively.
"This victory tastes sweeter than boba tea!" Chen told reporters post-race, her achievement made more notable by the absence of top contenders Ge Manqi and Liang Xiaojing.
Meanwhile, Li Zeyang claimed men's 100m gold in a display of speed that's got social media comparing him to a human bullet train. While times weren't immediately disclosed, insiders say his performance signals bright prospects for Chinese sprinting.
